Press Scores for Pacquiao-Horn

I agree and I feel the same way. I scored 7-5 Pac but reason I felt this wasn't as bad as Kovalev Ward I(but now believe it may be) was unlike Ward who to me gave away 5 of first 6 rounds, Ward ran while Horn came to fight with non stop aggression and pressed the action I could understand how a fight like that is harder to score and the fact he was massive underdog which let's face it when they exceed expectations they sometimes get a little better scoring than they deserve. Both bad decisions.

 

That is my point exactly. You have 2 pac fans hypothetical who score the fight 7-5. One gives pac rounds 1-7 and the other gives pac 7-12. They both say he won but got to the decision a different way. That is flawed as it gets. In the pac marques 1 fight one judge gave pac 116-111 and the other gave Marquez 116-111. That is 10 round difference. I wish people would just accept close fights for what they are. That is what rematches are for.

 

The Horn fight was exactly like the Bradley fight. I thought Pac won it clear and the thought of him losing or getting robbed never even crossed my mind.

 

The problem is fights are not scored on TV. Maybe they should. Judges have limited angles from the foot level to judge a fight. They are not watching the fight in slow motion. They are not getting compubox feeds.

 

Not in terms of action or the fight itself, but the feeling that that I didn't have a single concern that he would lose.

 

So with the fact that you are a fan of Manny are you telling me that you scorecard is not biased at all?I thought the fight looked close but expected Manny to get the decision. Roach said the same thing.

 

So were you rooting for Sturm? If so then your scoring will be biased. Nobody watches any sports without someone who they are rooting for deep down generally. I don't see the 80 percent as relevant because most people are pac fans compared to Jeff Horn. Couple hundred fans maybe.

 

Exactly what I thought, they have no F idea about the sport they talk about.

At least in my country, the media talking about boxing only say the BS that fanboys want to hear. They had pacman winning by a ton of rounds vs mayweather, lol, and they had no shame at all, what a disgrace. I have no respect at all for boxing press, they all are either biased, either only say what fanboys want to hear (even if they have to lie on purpose) or simply they have no F clue about what they are talking about.

If I want to know something about this sport, I skip the media and go to the forums, they are biased too, but at least after building a good ignore list you can get much more useful/true info than watching the medias.

 

What is the RBR?

 

Again your using 115-113 scores as indication of robbery and now your saying should be called a NC thats ridiculous lol. You and a lot of people had scores with 1 round difference in a fight with a lot of close rounds, people calling it robbery DKSAB and clearly haven't watched many fights like the first Pacquio v Bradley fight. The sport has had issues with bad decisions for a while and people using this as some kind of example aren't helping the argument for a change and perhaps making the judges explain how they come up with there scores. Pacquio is a true champion and has been a class act ive always been a fan but Horn showed that he is a deserving champion also the way he fought and came back after that 9th round showing all that heart to win the last couple of rounds. Horn has always been nothing but respectful before and after the fight just shame he isn't getting true recognition for his performance. its been pretty good start to his career so far and I look forward to his continued success and proving the haters and continued doubters wrong

 

The first Bradley fight was disgraceful decision the Pac v Horn fight doesn't belong in the same discussion I think 95% thought Pacquio won that fight where as this fight opinion is split worldwide.

 

Split worldwide?! LOLOLOL!!! Most everyone had Pac winning!
